Images from Image Quest must be cited using using the yellow Image Quest source citation sheet available in the Library or via download from the MLA Citation page.
For database magazine sources (Gale UXL), follow this path: Print or Online > Magazine > Online > retrieval from database
For database newspaper sources (mostly Infotrac but can be Gale UXL news tab), follow this path: Print or Online > Newspaper > Online > retrieval from database. Some newspaper sources may include the city and country of origin. You do not need to include this in the citation. This information will be in brackets. Example: [Sydney, Australia] If edition is not given in the citation, leave blank.
Note that some of the citation formats may not include the author name. Check underneath the headline. If there is a BYLINE - this is where you will find the reporter's name. This should be included in the citation.
Use Internet Form E for any web sites accessed via the STEM wiki page.
Music clips must be cited. Use the NoodleTools drop down format to cite music clips. The starter version does not have the precise format for audio, so you can adapt the audiovisual citation as follows: Audiovisual > Film or video recording > Online > a movie or clip.
OK...so...I know you don't have a movie (film) so wherever you see "film" on the citation generator, mentally substitute "audio." If you know the artist, enter in "film creator" field. Enter title of audio clip in "title of film" field. For name of website field - enter the website or database name if you downloaded from either. If not, enter the name of the cd (does anyone use the word "album" anymore?). In the publisher field, if you "own" this music, enter "Personal collection." Otherwise, leave blank. Date of creation: enter year if known. Enter url if downloaded from website, otherwise leave blank. Enter date you accessed it. In your annotation, discuss how you used it.
